Description

This superb antique étagère jewellery case table has been crafted from the finest materials. The three-tiered rectangular frame of the table is intricately cast from silvered bronze and includes fine detailing at each level. 

Lapis lazuli tops as well as the malachite detailing are a later addition and make this furniture piece a unique find. The side panels of the jewellery case occupying the top tier of the étagère are inlayed with lapis lazuli. The front panel is inlayed with lapis lazuli and malachite detailing. Above the stone inlay is an ornamented lock and key.

The hinged top opens to reveal shallow jewellery case, with the interior rim signed 'C. Roccheggiani Roma'. The two lower tiers include lapis lazuli panels, mounted in a round, silvered bronze frame.
